Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Marian's interest in understanding how people react to their environment and concern with their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors aligns with the discipline of psychology. Accounting and economics are not related to studying human behavior, and while anthropology may involve the study of culture and human behavior, it is broader in scope than psychology. Biology may involve studying human behavior from a biological perspective, but it may not align with Marian's specific interests in understanding thoughts and feelings.
